Note: If you are preparing anything containing nuts or other allergens, please put a small label to that effect in front of your dish. Nut allergies are especially fatal to small children. A note about Trapeza etiquette: Standing, even for short periods of time, is often extremely difficult for older people and expectant mothers. It would be an act of Christian charity to allow them to collect their meal first and to be seated. It should go without saying that this courtesy should also be extended to visiting clergy.

    “КРАСНОЕ СОЛНЫШКО” “SUNSHINE” CHURCH BULLETIN RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH “ST. VLADIMIR”, HOUSTON MAY, 2009 BELIEVE AND REJOICE! Feast of the Sunday of Thomas (Thomas Sunday) The Sunday after Pascha is the Sunday of St. Thomas, also known as Second Sunday or Antipascha ("opposite" Pascha, i.e., at the other end of Bright Week). Historically, this day in the early Church was the day that the newly-baptized Christians removed their robes and entered once again into the life of this world. The Orthodox Church dedicates every Sunday of the year to the Lord's Resurrection starting on this Sunday, the eighth day of the paschal celebration, the last day of Bright Week. Biblical Story The events commemorated on the Sunday of Thomas are recorded in the Gospel of Saint John 20:19-29. Following the crucifixion and burial of Christ, the disciples were gathered in a room with the doors closed and locked for fear of the Jews. On the evening of the Sunday after Passover, Jesus Christ entered the room and stood in their midst, greeting them with the words, “Peace be with you.” (v. 19) He showed the disciples his hands, feet, and side. (v. 20) Thomas was not present with the disciples when Jesus appeared, and he did not accept the testimony of the other disciples concerning Christ’s Resurrection. He stated, “Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.” (v. 24-25) Eight days later, the disciples were gathered together again with Thomas present, and the Lord appeared in the same manner.

    FROM THE FATHERS “WHERE the Church is, there is the Spirit of God; and where the Spirit of God is, there the Church and every grace. The Spirit, however, is Truth.” Holy Hieromartyr Irenaeus of Lyons, + 202 A.D. “FROM THIS CHURCH even those who are involved in various errors outside the Church can receive forgiveness of their sins, if, while they are still in this world, they will be converted to this same Church in a correct belief and in contrite and heartfelt humility. Let them hasten, then, while there is yet time, to their legitimate Mother, who diligently sustains and nourishes the sons born in her womb.” Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe, + 527 A.D. “LET US RECEIVE the tradition of the Church in simplicity of heart, without vain questioning, since God created man to be straightforward, but he has entangled himself with an infinity of questions. Let us not allow ourselves to learn a new faith, in opposition to the tradition of the fathers.” Ven. John of Damascus, + 780 A.D. “LET US WORSHIP, according to the Orthodox Faith, the eternal will and power and kingdom of the Trinity, always covering Arius with infamy. Let us honour thee, O Lady, in a proper manner, as the one who gave birth to God, relying on the dogmas of the holy fathers, and leaving aside the vain teachings of Nestorius.” Ven. Theodore the Studite, + 826 A.D. 1 “LIKEWISE on Sunday [the Sunday of Orthodoxy] we all make commemoration of the Orthodox Faith and sing hymns of thanks- giving to God, Who is all-good.

  • Russia Final Itinerary and Com
    1 2 Monday, May 22nd – Day 1 For those of us traveling together, we depart LAX on Lufthansa flight #457 to Frankfurt, Germany at 3:20PM, gaining a day as we travel, and arrive in Frankfurt at 11:20AM the next morning. Tuesday, May 23rd – Day 2 After a relatively short layover in Frankfurt, we depart for St. Petersburg on Lufthansa flight #1436 at 1:15PM, arriving in St. Petersburg at 4:55PM. We will transfer to the hotel Angleterre (or hotel England) across from St. Isaac’s Cathedral , built in the 19th century and one of the largest Orthodox Churches in the world; named for St. Isaac the Confessor, the 4th century monk of Constantinople, it can accommodate as many as 14,000 people for the celebration of Liturgy. The first hotel on the site of today’s Angleterre was built in 1840 and the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), the author of Anna Karenina and War and Peace , was a frequent guest. That hotel closed in 1985. In 1987, during Gorbachev’s perestroika or re-structuring, city authorities decided to demolish the aging hotel and replace it with a modern building – with a facade copying the original. Members of the public gathered on St. Isaac's Square to protest the plan. This was the first major public protest in the history of the Soviet Union to be left unpunished by the Soviet authorities. The hotel was ultimately demolished in 1987 and the current hotel opened in 1991. We’ll have some time to set up our rooms, rest and then have dinner, followed by a brief orientation.
